Cable Specifications
This Dayton cable is a 250 ft length of 1/8 in diameter galvanized steel wire rope. It uses a 7x19 strand construction with an independent wire rope core and a nylon coating. The working load limit is 400 lb and the breaking strength is 2,000 lbf.
Upgrade Considerations
The 7x19 construction provides greater flexibility than 7x7 or 6x19 ropes of the same diameter. The jump is worth it when the application involves repeated bending over sheaves or drums where fatigue resistance matters. The nylon coating adds abrasion protection but does not increase the rated working load limit.
Practical Limits
The 400 lb working load limit defines the maximum safe load for lifting operations. The 2,000 lbf breaking strength is the absolute failure point and must never be approached in service. The unlubricated, coated finish requires regular inspection for wear and corrosion. The plain ends need proper termination hardware before use.

Questions about this item
What is the overall diameter of this 1/8 in cable?
The overall diameter is 3/16 in, which is larger than the nominal 1/8 in wire rope size due to the nylon coating.
How should this plain-end cable be terminated for lifting use?
Secure the plain ends with wire-rope clips, swaged sleeves, or thimbles rated for the 400 lb working load limit; the step often missed is re-torquing clips after the first load.
When should this galvanised steel cable be replaced?
Replace it if you see broken wires, severe corrosion, kinks, crushing, or any damage that reduces the 2,000 lbf breaking strength below safe limits.
